DeWitt, NY -- The investigation is continuing into the death of Tracy Kulas, whose remains were found near ShoppingTown Mall in DeWitt last month, seven years after she was reported missing from a Syracuse assisted living center, DeWitt Police Chief Eugene J. Conway said today.

The investigation remains in the very early stages, Conway said.

“We’re not only starting at square one, we’re starting at square one seven years ago,” he said.

Kulas was 30 years old when she went missing from The Elms, 703 W. Onondaga St. She was last seen March 16, 2005, getting into a black pickup truck outside the assisted living center.

Kulas’ skeletal remains were found March 17 by a 13-year-old boy exploring the woods on Kinne Street, near the mall.

Conway asked the public to think back to that time and contact police with any information that may be helpful to the investigation.

Anyone with any information is asked to call DeWitt police at 632-0071.
